Prostrating to Others
Opposing Verses
Surah 12:100 → "He raised his parents on the throne, and they (all) fell down before him in prostration. And he said, ‘My father! This is the interpretation of my vision from before. My Lord has made it (come) true. He has been good to me, when He brought me out of the prison, and when He brought you out of the desert, after Satan had caused strife between me and my brothers. Surely my Lord is astute to whatever He pleases. Surely He – He is the Knowing, the Wise."
Does the Quran allow prostrating to anyone other than God? Some verses emphasize that there is no god but God, while another verse describes Joseph's parents and brothers falling down in prostration before him.
